A fuel cell includes a membrane electrode assembly, a fuel storage
reservoir, an air supply unit, a temperature regulator, and a
particulates blocking device. The particulates blocking device includes
an multi-layer air filtering unit communicated with the air supply unit
for blocking unwanted particulates from the air supplied by the air
supply unit. The air filtering unit includes a particle filter layer
having a plurality of porous gratings formed thereon for allowing
molecules which are smaller than a size of the gratings to pass
therethrough, and a molecular filler layer having a plurality of filler
grains chemically bound together for absorbing a predetermined kinds of
molecules so as to block the molecules from entering into the membrane
electrode assembly.
